As a reward, please gaze upon my avatar - it is a pineapple upside down cake garnished with dark rum ganache. I serve it with salted caramel ice cream. It is divine, and you should have some. :)

That, and you’re not explaining yourself and justifying everything to a hapless, likely somewhat nervous, victim while you do your makeup. Unless you’re a Bond villain. Which is totally fine! But if not, then the lack of talking/teaching probably cuts down on a lot of the time.

Thank you so much for the tip - I’m eyeballing our dishwasher (circa 1991????) and expecting death every day. I probably would have put LG at the top of the list but this is going to make me reconsider.

Yeah, me too. But I thought that was too clever for her, so talent is probably correct...

Shit, I’d wear that now, and not even ironically. Do I need an intervention?

Joey was the first to have a kid! And please, Chris was the CraaaAAzY one, you know that name’s on his shortlist.

Perfect GIF, perfect movie.

Well, argan oil is supposed to be non-comodegenic. And my acne is all tied to my hormonal cycle which is nice/super annoying - I get regular breakouts but I can't actually just CAUSE them short of straight up completely neglecting washing it and removing makeup like a dirty teenager.

I'm an oily mofo. When I do OCM/did OCM (I can't stick to just one thing for more than a week because I have 9 million products to try and love), I would do it wrong, I guess? I would use coconut oil to get everything off my face, then use a warm, damp cloth to wipe, and then I use a few drops of argan oil. Argan oil…

High five! I know everyone hears the horror stories, but it’s like with anything - the people who have the worst experience are the most devoted to talking about it, but statistically, the IUD is still one of the safest and most effective, and longest term, even accounting for the higher (minisculely) rate of…

Wicked burn. ;)

Right? I describe mine as a purple nurple on my cervix. Like, it wasn’t fun but it wasn’t worse than a weird pinch, and for 10 years of not having a kid, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Take midol or pamprin before hand to cut down on pain and cramping.

Not the OP but post-insertion, I had cramping for a couple of days and light spotting for a couple weeks (mine was inserted mid-cycle, which was especially weird since I’ve never had a kid, but totally uneventful). Before my IUD, I was a 3-5 day, moderate flow, mild cramp period, with a day of lead-in spotting before…

Preach. I think it's so important to know EXACTLY what you want - not in a he must be exactly this tall blee blee blah way, but... It's your job to know what you want, what's going to work for you, and what's going to make you happy. That's all informed by previous dates/relationships/data from observation, but we all…

I was in the greater Seattle area and I had uuuummm 5 people make it to real dates? 1 made it to 3 dates, 1 made it to 4 months of non-relationship based dating, and I married the last one. He's aces. :)

If you can bring yourself to an Ulta, check out the Laura Geller highlighters. I am a pale, pink, naked mole rat of a woman and I use French Vanilla the most often. Shimmery but not SPARKLY TOOOOOWN.

Totally true points. Like, xoVain is always there for me with fun new shit to try (miss Alle!), or youtube. How else would we learn a smokey eye? Drugstore insert is noooot gonna handle that.

Aaaaand I'm skipping dinner.

-tiny violin- Nah, but that's genuinely not old these days. I'm 27 and really only this year, after getting married and buying a house, feeling like maybe I can say "adult" without sarcasm or irony quotes.
